The Evacuation update is now live! This update includes a brand-new map, a number of new features, and more.

The new Evac map is built with both the wide-open lanes of a sniper alley plus the CQC of a trench raid. The west and north sections of the maps are a destroyed street. Burnt-out buses at each the southwest and northwest corners give snipers an (exposed) vantage point, and grease gunners will have to dash across long stretches of empty to get at them. Duck into the cover of a nearby bazaar in the east half of the map for upstairs/downstairs snap-shot combat.

The visual centerpiece of Evac is an abandoned jumpjet and helipad. Once it ferried civilians out of this plague-ridden corpse of a city; now it bears witness as Agents fight over what’s left.

Evac also introduces premium servers. When you buy a premium server token, you’ll have a server spawned by us just for you. You are the admin and your friends can join in – only the host has to pay any ZEN.

Premium servers can be adjusted with a number of settings, including setting a minimum level or ping limit for players, disallowing depots or HRVs, and setting team sorting by clans or parties.

All these and more are available in the Evacuation update for Blacklight: Retribution now. Read on for full patch notes.

- Added new Primary Receiver: Anti-Materiel Rifle – A very powerful sniper rifle with a long scope time. Available for GP and Zen!

- Added new Secondary Receiver: Breach Loaded Pistol – A unique weapon that fires an explosive charge that can stick to enemies! Available for GP and Zen!

- Added new Depot Item: Katana – A deadly sword with a charging lunge attack that can go through multiple targets. Available for GP and Zen!

- Added new Tactical Item: Firewall Breach Kit – A kit that makes hacking much easier, decreases entry time into enemy hardsuits, and boosts your HRV abilities. Available for GP and Zen!

- Added new Gear Items: Protection Gear – Patches that provide a passive resistance to a specific damage type. Available for GP and Zen!

- Added new Gear Item: Exploding Tomahawk – A tomahawk that can be thrown and remotely exploded. Available for GP and Zen!

- Added new Helmet: Prex Chemical/Hazmat Respirator – A helmet that provides a passive resistance to explosive damage. Available for GP and Zen!

- Added two new Scopes: EMI Fused Image-IR and EMI Cypher IR – Infared scopes with 4x and 3x zoom, respectively. Available for GP and Zen!

- Added premium servers to the game available with a large variety of mutator options (now including disabling elemental ammo) and ability to choose map and gametype.

They also contain a ban list and can be marked private with an "invite only" list for certain players and clans.

They are created in the private match create menu after purchasing a premium match token.

Existing premium servers are edited by selecting in the server browser and clicking the "Manage" button.

They can be renewed this way or have more time added to them. Expired servers also show up in the server browser.

They can be deleted or renewed.

- Added "Spectate Through Death" option in Settings -> Game that allows you continue spectating a player after they die.

- Added "Spawn Effects" option in Settings -> Game that allows you to enable/disable the visual effects from spawning.

- Added "ADS Fix" experimental option in Settings -> Control aimed at trying to resolve the issue of firing only one round when holding down the fire button after sprinting. Please give us feedback on whether or not having this option Enabled resolves any issues that you have had.

Fixes:

- Fixed issue that would cause the sprint animation to occur while walking at normal speed.

- Fixed issues on multiple levels that prevented players from being shot in certain areas.

- Steam wallet and achievement functionality has been restored.

- Fixed issues around sprinting, weapon-switching and landing that caused the Bolt-Action Rifle to lose functionality.

Where is the bullpup rifle?? And will you PLEASE allow me to permanently buy the TSMG with GP? It has similar pricing to the freaking AMR! Are you saying that the TSMG is as over powered as the AMR? But still great patch over all. :)

and yet another update... really BLR you couldn't pick the worst time for me to update one of the best F2PMMOFPS games around. But your timing is just terrible! I had to download the whole installer (0.990) which was a whooping 6.7 GB in a country where we have an 8 GB quota!! And now yet again we get another big update (0.991). Thank you for that.... really good job. I assume everything will run smoothly once I'm back to a country where there isn't any quota. FML and my luck
